Moving from a Rebel T1i to a 7D...thoughts?

Yes, I have considered the 6D, but in reality its advantage over the 5DII does not justify the added cost, at least to me. While the focusing system on the 6D may be a "tad" faster or more accurate, it's still lacking compared to the 5DIII. Also, low-light shooting is something I don't do without artificial light. I do take photos of the Auroras all the time, but don't need more than 400-600 ISO (most times 400 is plenty with a slightly longer exposure).

The Auroras are supposed to be more active this year according to the forecast, but it hasn't been that way in recent weeks. We have had some activity, but not nearly as much as forecasted.

Increased activity is due to global warming.

Decreased activity is due to global warming.

Personally, I would go for a used 5D II over a 7D, especially if you want full frame...
